Product information
Nylatech Oil-Filled Cast Nylon 6 Sheet. Oil-lubricated cast PA6 for machined sliding and rotating wear components.
Select thickness and area
Sold per square foot (SFT): quantity 1 = 1 sq ft. Select a 0.25–4 in thickness. Standard stock is 2 × 4 ft; one full sheet contains 8 SFT.
For cut pieces, specify length × width and piece count. The SFT quantity alone does not define a cutting layout.
Choosing Oil-Filled
Consider Oil-Filled where regular external lubrication is difficult. Compare MD-Oil for a moly-and-oil formulation, or Natural-Oil when food-contact documentation is required.
Sheet or plate is a starting form for flat wear pads, strips and machined profiles. Plan the part layout and finished thickness before selecting stock.
Other sheet grades: Natural · Natural-Oil · Blue · MD · SL · MD-Oil · PVM · Super Black · Food Grade Blue.
Allow for machining: dimensions are nominal stock sizes, not finished-part tolerances. Nylon absorbs moisture; consider dimensional change, temperature, chemicals and operating loads when specifying close-fitting parts.
